Again, very impressive. I’m sure you changed the course of medical history with that, professor.
BTW, “transmitting the torch” doesn’t sound any smarter than “passing the torch”.
Well, torches are passed, and the knowledge transmitted- and here the word ‘torch’ was used for ‘knowledge’. In olden days they would have taught him that bit of info in medical school, and nowadays they do not. BTW, everyone else present there laughed uncontrollably, for all of us imagined the same situation with future doctor dispensing this very bit of an advice. I even had to give him a xerox copy of Aristotle’s page, with the paragraph of interest highlighted.
